chroma_defconfig currently gives me this with gcc 4.6:
arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:638:13: error: 'dm' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
It's a bogus warning/error since of_get_drconf_memory() only writes it
anyway.

My bad.. I was using it wrong
Still affects 3.4 and 3.3 stable.
